Hi all,

As my patrol is no longer my daily driver I have been thinking of way to keep the battery topped up in between runs. I have a 240v charger that will trickle charge but I don't have any power points where I keep the car but also don't want to run a huge extension lead out all the time either.

So that got me thinking about solar. This panel specifically

I have a super crap gift card I need to use so ideally that would be good. The panel won't need to be high out put as it just to keep the battery up, with almost nothing running off it (alarm and elec rust protect).

Is something like this going to work or am I just going to have to spend another few hundred on getting a good regulator making the cheap panel worth less?

I really I don't want to have to spend heaps doing this.

Thanks in advance.
